Everytime i boot up my machine explorer.exe freezes while everything loads and i have to restart it through the task manager in order to use it.
It's been happening about 2 months after i got ultramon which was about 4 months from now.
The weird thing is, after it has restarted it's fine for weeks on end while my computer is still on.
Any ideas as to why it's doing it or how to stop it doing it.

I don't know
I strongly recommend taking a backup of every folder except the windows one (For best results, Start > Run > regedit , and export the entire registry, and use the Files and Settings transfer Wizard - Save it to disk and then simply Copy + Paste your whole hard drive to an external disk as well as the copy of the registry and the *.unc file that the Files and Settings wizard will make) and then reformat the disk. Reinstall windows, then copy your whole hard drive over, then the registry, then the files and settings transfer wizard *.unc file (which will require a restart)
90-95% of settings and preferences aren't lost, 100% of data is kept and the windows folder is replaced with its proper contents.
NOTE: Certain applications, such as Microsoft's AOE III, require things like the XML parser to be installed, that (and anything else you might need) can probably be found on Microsoft's website
Don't forget to install DirectX again!
A lazier alternative would be to make a batch file that runs at boot, waits for a while, then loads explorer.exe. Can't tell you exactly how to get that to work though.
Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Supporters of Proposition 8 will argue California does not discriminate against gays, as the current law allows them to get married - as long as they wed a partner of the opposite sex.

I have used Ultramon for about 5 years or so now and it operates very well. I don't suffer from any explorer.exe freezes.
I would recommend looking elsewhere. Look into your startup routine. Sound's like something is amuck.
